Rhonda Blackmore, one of the directors of the police department, said that the actual number of injured may be higher than known, as some of the injured went to the hospital by their own means.
Stating that the suspects may be in a black Nissan Rouge vehicle, police officials said, “If you are in a safe location, do not leave there. Be careful when bringing others into your home. Do not accept hitchhikers.”
